Jiang Cheng really left.

The tall foreign man was absolutely dumbfounded for a moment.

Why did that salesman leave?????

This doesn’t follow the usual script!

Jiang Cheng and the other two walked out of the foreign exchange store without any hesitation.

After walking quite a distance, Director Lu, looking puzzled, asked Jiang Cheng, "Can we talk now?"

"Of course we can!"

Jiang Cheng answered casually.

Director Lu finally felt relieved.

"Weren’t we here to sell goods? And we’re just leaving like that?"

Jiang Cheng smiled confidently and said, "There are many ways to sell goods. Today... we could either outsmart them or create something out of nothing, but waiting for an opportunity still works."

Director Lu murmured, eventually managing to say, "Jiang Cheng, could you lend me the Thirty-Six Stratagems you read when we get back?"

"I always feel like our books are different."

He must have overlooked something.

Upon hearing this, Director Lian, on the side, loudly said, "The difference is in the brain."

Director Lu’s eyes widened like a tiger’s.

"Why state the obvious so bluntly!"

The three of them exchanged smiles, and after leaving the Foreign Affairs Hotel, they headed to the Haishi First Sugar Factory.

At the entrance of the sugar factory, Jiang Cheng was talking to an elderly man.

"Sir, I’m a translator. Here’s my ID."

"While accompanying foreigners, they showed great interest in the candies from our sugar factory and placed an order."

"Those foreigners are fussy and in a hurry. I came without an appointment. What a mess this is."

Jiang Cheng spoke with a mix of disdain, urgency, and helplessness.

Upon hearing the word ’foreigners’ and the mention of an order, along with Jiang Cheng’s translator ID, the elderly guard believed him almost entirely.

This top-priority task couldn’t be delayed by him.

"Comrade, go right in. Our sales department director is on the second floor of that red brick building."

"Thank you so much! Your level of awareness far exceeds mine. I’m just anxious. That’s why the Sea City Sugar Factory is so formidable!"

After these kind words, Jiang Cheng and the other two successfully entered the sugar factory and smoothly found the sales department director.

The sales department director looked at the three people who came directly to him, and suspiciously asked, "Do you have a foreign order?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng took out a piece of paper with the records and showed it to the sales director.

"Currently, there are only 217 orders."

The sales director’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, his body relaxed, and he leaned back in a dominant posture.

"Comrade, we can’t take orders for two hundred or so boxes."

Jiang Cheng wasn’t the least bit anxious, looking even more at ease than the other party.

"That’s only for now. I never said there wouldn’t be more."

The director on the other side was doubtful, so Jiang Cheng didn’t waste words and directly took out the candies with "blended" flavors.

Director Zhu was bewildered; weren’t those candies from their factory?

But they seemed quite plump for some reason?

Jiang Cheng calmly pushed a piece over and said, "Director, you might as well try it."

Director Zhu didn’t move.

"I should try it? Our factory has too many already."

Jiang Cheng remained unhurried and slowly said:

"Director Zhu, as far as I know, M Country is interested in purchasing from your factory."

Director Zhu grunted and asked, "So what?"

Jiang Cheng smiled confidently and responded with a rhetorical question, "Director Zhu, can the candy recipe be customized?"

Customized?

Director Zhu was even more puzzled.

Jiang Cheng didn’t keep him in suspense any longer.

"Director Zhu, based on what I understand, the reason M Country didn’t continue purchasing your factory’s candies was that they weren’t sweet enough."

The sales director gradually leaned forward, listening to Jiang Cheng’s words with skepticism.

"It’s true. Today when I brought this special candy with me, within two minutes, I received so many individual orders. Although the biggest buyer hasn’t made a move yet, I think there’s a chance."

Director Zhu showed some interest.

"Have a seat, Xiao Li, get us some tea!"

With a changed attitude, Jiang Cheng timely said, "Thank you, Director, for giving us this opportunity."

Director Zhu, feeling comfortable with Jiang Cheng’s words, stood up and said, "I’ll go call the factory director over."

Jiang Cheng nodded calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, appearing composed and in control.

Soon, Director Tang of the sugar factory entered with Director Zhu.

Jiang Cheng stood up to shake hands, and after getting acquainted, they all sat down.

Jiang Cheng repeated the earlier conversation, then looked at Director Tang and said, "I’m seventy percent confident I can secure a larger order."

Director Tang looked at Jiang Cheng, his voice low and pressuring.

"Seventy percent? Not high."

Jiang Cheng directly rebutted, "Without me, the chance is zero."

In the small office, a palpable tension developed during the staring contest between Jiang Cheng and Director Tang.

Everyone else instinctively held their breath.

An old and a young person faced off.

Director Lu, watching for amusement, thought: Aren’t your eyes getting tired?

"Bold!"

Director Tang complimented, showing an approving expression.

Jiang Cheng then gave a cute smile and said, "Thank you for your honest words."

Hearing this, Director Tang burst into laughter.

Such an interesting young lady, she’d be a good soldier on the battlefield too.

"So, tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Jiang Cheng showed a sly smile like a small fox and said, "Do nothing until the other party can’t sit still and comes to us."

Jiang Cheng stayed in the office for an hour before leaving.

After coming out, she went alone to the Sea City’s ceramic and bamboo weaving factories.

Of course, it wasn’t possible to do nothing at all; some prompts still needed to be made.

After leaving the bamboo weaving factory, Jiang Cheng began her layout.

First, uniquely blended candies, exquisite porcelain, and bamboo art pieces appeared in the foreign exchange store.

Secondly, by leveraging her position as a translator, she stayed around different foreigners every day.

Any foreigner she translated for invariably bought the products she introduced.

Whether as gifts or to keep as souvenirs, they all placed orders.

In three days, Rose, the interested man, noticed that everyone around him was discussing how tasty the milk candies were, how special the vases were, and how exquisite the porcelain was.

Every time he walked by, he could overhear how much others had bought.

Each time he heard it, Rose kept telling himself it was just a sales tactic.

She must be creating a false impression of popularity, but she hadn’t sold much at all.

Ultimately, the Hua Xia side would definitely approach him, begging him to buy.

Rose was immensely confident and unshaken.

But after waiting five days, no one approached him to discuss business.

Rose was a bit anxious but still maintained his composure.

On the sixth day, Jiang Cheng returned to the Foreign Affairs Hotel.

The moment Rose saw Jiang Cheng, his confident smile reappeared.

He knew she would come back.

Rose lifted his head confidently.

Jiang Cheng walked over and stopped in front of Rose.

Rose’s lips curled slightly with sarcasm.

"Sir, could you please step aside, I need to pass."

Jiang Cheng’s words shattered Rose’s sarcastic expression, and gritting his teeth, he stepped aside.

He was certain that soon she would beg him intensely.

Jiang Cheng seemingly ignored Rose’s clenched teeth, calmly thanked him, and continued past him, verifying orders with other foreigners who had placed orders.

"Jiang, I want to add a hundred more."

Jiang Cheng regretfully looked at the other party and said, "Truly sorry, the factory is currently in talks with investors from D Country."

Several foreigners were genuinely disappointed.

Jiang Cheng offered some comfort, set up dates to pick up the goods, and left once again.

Rose, still waiting for Jiang Cheng to approach him, once again watched her leave.

Rose: What on earth is going on???
